Only if it actually worked as the salespeople said it does

That’s the thing. It’s been talked about for over a year now, but LLM “AI” won’t ever lead to AGI. It doesn’t matter how big you make the model, it’s never going to actually qualify.

Sorry, I should have been clear, I by no means thought you were hating on it!
I’m literally just hearing about Revolt now. And I’ve had a bad day so far, that obviously came through in my previous comment. I’m sorry, rereading my last comment, it’s a bit belligerent.
Thanks for taking the time to explain like I’m 5 and throwing a tantrum. 🤦 Sorry again.

1. File size limits on the default instance are 20mb.

But it’s configurable right? Should be looking through configurations anyway.

2. Its not federated.

I’d argue that not everything needs to be federated. Some things would definitely benefit from federation, but I’m not entirely sure that this is one of them.

3. It’s not encrypted.

This IS a bit of a major negative. But point 2 and point 3 seems to be in conflict. I’m definitely not an expert, and don’t pretend to be. But to my limited, layman’s, knowledge wouldn’t being federated and encrypted not really work out? What would be the point in encrypting all communication between the server instance and client, to then federate it out to other servers?

I’m not trying to be contrarian here, I’m really asking, is that something that would:

1. Work.
2. Makes sense to do

Or is the lack of encryption a security risk for server operators? I’m not getting the point, obviously. And I’d like to know what your thinking on this is.

Yeah, that works too

That’s the thing. They always were shit, just with Trump’s War on Woke, they now feel like the money they’ve always spent on good will of the public, DEI programs, keeping a muzzle on the racist/misogynistic/bigoted person running the company isn’t really needed. Now all that “wasted” money can go where it belongs…into shareholder profits.

I should clarify that it could be Inuit lands that Trump may be seeking to control in case other indigenous people are wondering what the fuck I am talking about. Sorry.

We’ll make a Canadian of you yet ;)
You’re ok buddy. There’s currently the whole gamut of Canadian FN currently living (i.e. - not necessarily on reserve) in the Northern Territories.
2021 census data, Indigenous population by Territory.

There were also more than just Inuit historically living in the North West Territories.

And Ontario:

Prior to contact with the European settlers, our Nations and Peoples – the Anishinaabek, Mushkegowuk, Onkwehonwe, and Lenape – have thrived since time immemorial in what is now known as the province of Ontario on Turtle Island (North America).

And all the other provinces too, just need to get to bed and don’t have the energy to dig up more examples.

Yeah, lots of very close parallels between treatment of Australian and Canadian indigenous people’s.

Breaking up the Big 3 telecom giants would be almost as good as deeming internet and cell/telephone service a critical utility and taking a large portion over as Crown corps or provincially owned utilities.

I mean, they do seem to be mentally deficient…

I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt to people, like @Gawdl3y@pawb.social (you seem alright bud 👍), who bought in early before the Musty fElon started going “mask off” with how unhinged and fascist he’s always been…

Sucks to be indigenous (again).

Never entirely stopped, my dude. FN folk are overrepresented in the prison system. And systemic racism is still absolutely rampant nation wide.

Indigenous man and Granddaughter(12) handcuffed by Vancouver PD for “fraud” at BMO while trying to open an account.

First Nation demands OPP officer fired after allegedly leaving man on remote northern Ontario highway.

The Indigenous people killed by Canada’s police.

Starlight Tours

Starlight Tours

Thunder Bay, and it’s habit of hate crime against indigenous people

Study finds search for missing Indigenous women hampered by police apathy.

Canadaland Investigates - There Is A Town In North Ontario | Thunder Bay Chapter 1 This is an incredibly well made, gripping series of podcast episodes. It’s also fucking heartbreaking.

This is just the stuff I remembered well enough to find on Google on the first attempt at search query wording.

You’re going to notice that basically every single thing I linked involves the police. And sure, ACAB, but you don’t have an issue as glaringly massive as the racism against First Nations people in Canada is, without it coming from the top down. If there was an actual willingness to change, to make First Nations people equal citizens of Canada, then this shit would be clamped the fuck down on. There would be proper investigation into accusations against police officers who do things like Starlight Tours. There would be repercussions for police departments who had taken reports of missing indigenous women, and then never investigated it. And maybe, just maybe the government would have kept their end of signed treaties.

Things have certainly improved since the days of residential schools, the 60s sweep, etc. But it’s far from being a fair play to First Nations people.

I’d trust him more if he were actually in any way trustworthy, and hadn’t shown himself for the Trumpian he is. Even if he did have an actual change of heart I wouldn’t believe it unless he stabbed Trump in the eye with an icepick then ate his heart…and even then I’d always think that maybe he ate his heart so he could keep a part of him close forever…

For 40 years, we’ve seen the devastating effects of so-called “free trade” on the working class. Corporations have been driving a non-stop race to the bottom by killing good blue-collar jobs in America to go exploit some poor worker in another country by paying poverty wages. Tariffs are a powerful tool in the toolbox for undoing the injustice of anti-worker trade deals. We are glad to see an American president take aggressive action on ending the free trade disaster that has dropped like a bomb on the working class.

Fuckin hell.

There’s been a lot of talk of these tariffs “disrupting” the economy. But if corporate America chooses to price-gouge the American consumer or attack the American worker because they don’t want to pay their fair share, corporate America bears the blame for that decision. The working class suffered all the pain of NAFTA, and we won’t suffer all the pain of undoing NAFTA. We want to see corporate America, from the auto industry and beyond, recommit to the working class that makes the products and generates the profits that keep this country running.

Re: emphasised section.
They were so…sooo close to getting it. Free trade possibly had a part to play in the crushing of the American working class. I guess. Personally I’d say the constant refusal of many states or the feds to put proper worker protections into law, ridiculously low federal minimum wage, and lack of enforcement of what little regulations there are that protect workers.

The UAW is in active negotiations with the Trump Administration about their plans to end the free trade disaster. We look forward to working with the White House to shape the auto tariffs in April to benefit the working class. We want to see serious action that will incentivize companies to change their behavior, reinvest in America, and stop cheating the American worker, the American consumer, and the American taxpayer.

I would say “fucking class traitors” but I don’t think they consider themselves working class for the most part…or at least not the people who approved that message.

We’re Canadian. Guillotines are out. Execution pits with either rabid beavers, or bull Moose in musk with the oligarch dipped in lady Moose pheromones before being thrown in.

UNLIMITED блять! (blyat, fuck? Idk, I don’t speak russian, Google translate says Da?)

FTFY

“I can tell you that we worked hard to avoid a repeat of Trump’s tax. We know tariffs are bad for people and businesses on both sides of the border,” Houston wrote on X. “Unfortunately, some people need to touch the hot stove to learn, and while we cannot control or predict their behavior, we can control how we respond.”

Savage. Love it.

I’d never gone and read anything Hitler had written. Maybe it’s partly the inherent inaccuracies introduced when translating something. Idk… whatever it was…that quote from Mein Kampf was absolutely insufferable. Not the topic, disgusting as it is. The…hmmm… slightly flowery, holier-than-thou-esque tone… patronising, like you’d speak to someone you think is really dumb. Which I guess probably was what was going on. Get the feeling Hitler thought he was a pretty smart cookie.

So…I guess it kinda seems like a .gif vs .gif sorta situation, we’ll never come to a consensus, there will forever be disparate camps chuckling under their breath at all the “idiots” that can’t even pronounce SearXNG right…the fools…

Well, guess I’ll sleep on it and join a camp some day… le sigh

Legend 👍

How’d you know I was too lazy to look it up again?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fuck! I’d completely forgotten about that! What a fucking mongrel…
